- 1999 Explorer XLT
Hey all.
I have a 1999 Explorer XLT with a 4.0 OHV. The codes and the local Ford dealer tell me i need a new Left O2 sensor.
Here is my problem.
Driving along, the engine will lose power. It barely accelerates and will eventually stall. I'll start it up again and it will run fine for a bit, then do the same thing. If i put it in neutral before it stalls, it will sometimes start running ok again, but not always.
So far, i have:
Replaced the entire exhaust system from the manifold gaskets back.
Replaced the fuel filter.
Replaced the ignition coil and wires.
Replaced the old plugs with irridium ones.
The old plug #4 was fouled and it was brand new. Less than 50 miles.
Replaced the intake manifold gasket.
I also put Barrs stop leak in thinking it might be a head gasket leak.
Could a bad O2 sensor cause this?
Fuel pump?
I've already dropped $2000 inro it, almost as much as i paid for it.
Any ideas?
